Disclaimer: Still don't own Draco Malfoy or any other of Joe's characters… how many times do I have to write this?

Choking

He

Can't

Breathe.

Rapid thoughts

Fire across his mind

To break free

But, he

Can't

Think.

He only hears

His vigorous heartbeat...

Dulling...

Caged,

He

Can't

Escape

His very bones

Tense

And loosen

And forfeit

To the darkness

Of Choking.

Authors Note: Ok, not so Hopey this time. I think this poem relates to how Draco Malfoy feels sometimes… very sad… sniff… sniff.
